To Make More Heats.

On Friday, Mr.. Robt Buck, Presi-
dent of the Cumberland Nail & Iron
company requested the puddlers and
heaters of the rolling mill to meet him
Saturday afternoon at three o'clock
as he wished to speak TO them on busi-
ness pertaining to their work. Prompt
ly at that hour the men were on hand
to meet that gentleman, and in few
words he told them what he had to.
say. 1t seems as if the pudding mill
hands had been making six heats in
the day and had finished work about
two o'clock. The night hands did not
come on duty until four or five o'clock
and the furnaces were necessarily
dampered for couple of hours which
wasted considerable coal at financial
loss to the Iron Company. This Mr..
Buck wanted to remedy in order to
keep the expenses of the mill as much
in the bounds as possible. He desired
that the night hands of both the pud-
ding and heat-furnaces would make
one more heat each night and thus
make the heats come nearer together,
and do away with the dampering of
furnace.
The President said that this arrange
ment had been met with the idea that
if the men made more heats, their
wages wouldin the end be reduced. This
he guaranteed them was not the case.
The wages would remain the same no
matter how much iron is manufactured.
Again he said some of the employees
were fearful that if so much iron was
manufactured surplus would soon
accumulate and the men be thrown
out of work. This Mr.. Buck assured
them was not so. All the iron the
men could turn out would be used or
sold, as the demand for the puddled
iron was very great just now.
The idea of making more heats was
simplya to cut down the expense of
wasted coal as that commodity was
very expensive just now, and at the
present rate of selling iron the COM
pany were making no money and it
was the desire of the management to
keep the expenses down so that the
mill would pay the running expenses
if it did nothing else and thus keep
men employed. With this understand
ing the men seemed much pleased and
al, conceded the wish of the President
of the Company was just one and
will comply with it willingly. The
prospects of running the mill all Winter
are said to be good.

Will The Road be F'ixedP

The case brought by William FL. Mil
Ter, of Carmel, against Overseer Phiffer,
of the 4th ward, of Millville, was dis
missed owing to the technecality in
the issuing of precept which answers
the place of the summons in a case of
this kind. Yesterday all was ready for
the legal battle and Squire Riley had
his most knowing look upon his intel
lectual face. The Overseer from Mill
vile with his counsel James H. Nixon,
and witness or two were on hand to
hear what Mr. Miller had to say
through his attorney j. l.. VanSyckle,
of this city. But the hitch occurred.
Mr.. Nixon said he would ask for dis
missal of this case on the ground that
the precept was not indorsed properly
according to the full acception of the
law. Previous to this motion he had
asked for six man jury and Constable
Ayars with hat in hand, was ready to
go out after the jury if the Squire re-
fused to grant the dismissal. But Van
arose and admitted the point. Still he
thought it folly to have the case dis
missed on mere technical point, as
he would surely commence the suit
over again. Here were the witnesses
and the case was ready to go on if the
defence would merely waive this point.
In reply Mr.. Nixon said that he had
come over to Brdgeton on other bust
ness and his client rather enjoyed these
rides to this city, and he would GER
tainly hold his point He wanted to
remark that this road would be fixed
up in due time if the Overseer was
allowed the time to do it. Millville he
claimed, had done more than any other
city in the State in repairing roads.
The action he thought was unwar-
ranted and he could prove to Mr.. Van
Syckle in less than three minutes that
Millville had the best side of the case
VanSycklethought otherwise. He said
that the turnpike company had had
monopoly of the road to Millville long
enough and while the law would bear
him out he did not propose the city of
Millville should help them out in the
efforts to keep all other roads hard for
the benefit of the pike.
Suit would Immediately be brought
in the case and the Overseer would
necessarily visit this city again. For
twenty-three years Mr.. Miller had been
coaxing for road through this sand
hole and it seemed that these heroic
measures were necessity. The new
suit will be brought at an early day.

DUNHAM IN JAIL.
How the Man Charged with
Murder Appears.

George Dunham, the man whom
public opinion has branded as the
murderer of his mother-in-law, Mrs.
HANDLE, is in Jail at Woodbury., and
few lines as to how he spends his time
may prove interesting.
His health does not seem to suffer
from his confinement in Jail, his appe-
tite remaining good. But his manner
of living in the prison is such
as would be likely to make most men
sick. He talks little, reads little and
moves about little, lying much of the
time in his cell. Occasionally he reads
a little in the Bible, but has shown no
inclination to read anything else.
When spoken to he answers civilly,
but engages in no conversation, either
with other prisoners or with the jailor.
No lawyer has yet been employed to
defend him. His father, Elam Dun
ham, has been trying to make arrange
ments for retaining able counsel, but
nothing has been consummated as yet.
DulHhiu W1e HAS IeluSSd w nave
anything to do with engaging counsel,
but it is understood within the last
day or two that che thinks more
favorably of helping to raise the nee
essary money to retain lawyer to
undertake the case.
Notwithstanding the statement in
the city papers, the will of Barbara
Handle has not been offered for pro-
bate at the Surrogate's Office, though
it is true as these papers have stated
that the property of the murdered
woman, both real and personal, with
the exception of a few articles, is left
to her daughter Martha. Dunham's
wife. The will is in possession of
Abraham Cochran, of Elmer. Whether
it will ever be probated or not matters
very little, as the result would be sub
stantially the same, Martha being the
only child and direct heir. A person
who has had opportunity to learn the
condition of the estate says that the
two farms, the one on which the muir
der was committed and the one at
Elmer, will probably not realize clear
of the obligations much more than
$4,000; that-or possibly $3,000-will
be about the amount of Martha Dun
hams wealth as the result of her
mothers death.

Fire in the Colony.

The dwelling house Of Mr.. Siden, in
Alliance Colony, was damaged by fire
on Nov. 30th. Mrs. Siden was in
the barn feeding the COW when she
heard her four children screaming,
and ran to their rescue. After getting
three of them out she rushed through
the smoke and rescued the baby,
which was nearly smothered. She
then, with the assistance of an old
gentleman neighbor, succeeded in
mastering the flames after they had
destroyed about all the furniture in
the building. How she succeeded in
saving the house is mystery. Her
husband was away at the time. After
the fire some thief stole $20 all the
money she had, from an old trunk
that had been saved. The father,
mother and four children slept that
bitter cold Thursday night on a little
salt hay without any covering, every
thing having been burned. The furni
ture was insured by Mr.. A. G. Clark.
There is no insurance on the house.

Ulle SE0duSSu ieS SlSldtlNc uOCuiueuU ever
produced, and yet every man that
signed it was a believer in God. The
Christians founded the country; they
founded the laws which govern the
country; they founded the colleges;
the public school system; and yet not
one word of credit does the great pa
gan give them. Christianity did all of
these things, and it will live when the
Colonel will have laid aside his pen,
and his tongue is stilled and he be
buried in the grave of eternal insignif-
canoe.
The great infidel wants to know the
works of God, and his reasons are
about as senseless as can be. All this
knowledge is of no consequence to him.
He lives without it. He wants to
know whose fault it is that he cannot
comprehend God, if there is one
Guess whose fault it is? 1t cannot be
Gods fault. 1t is not the fault of the
people. 1t is his own fault. At one
time physician ordered man to take
a quart of champagne all at once or he
would have to die ''Well, said the
patient, "I'll have to die then as [
only hold pint" That is the way
with the pagan, he is on the pint order.
The Colonel says he knows nothing of
God and them proceeds to tell you
all about it. What right has he to
question the works of his maker when
he boldly declares he knows nothing
of such being. There is not the
slightest danger of the current of
thought of the country being changed
while he argues in that fashion. The
world has gotten Ingersoll down fine
and knows what his opinion is. No man
is better than his thoughts and he
must certainly be a vicious man for he
gets angry with all who differ with
him on this question. He askes 300,-
100000 people who believe in GOD to
cease doing so because he don't be
lieve, and then gets angry because
they don't do SO. When questioned he
cannot offer anything in its place and
people refuse to do SO.
Speak of the Bible and the face of
pagan lights up with intelligence. He
knows all about that book and boldly
declares that is fraud. Why says he,
God never wrote that book because Il
myself can write better book than
that" and yet, said the General, the
book contains the grandest, most
powerful language that has ever been
seen in print. Then the speaker drew
to close and his language was superb.
Again, he says does, the great pagan
cruelty the Saviour and plunge the
lance once more in the heart of his
maker, who on Calvary suffered for
the benefit of all man kind.

Six new companies have been incorpor

they were nearly all satisfied. After
